Summary of Think Like a Pancreas: A Practical Guide to Managing Diabetes with Insulin

Dozens of books offer advice on managing diabetes, but few focus specifically on the day-to-day issues facing those who use insulin. Now Gary Scheiner, a certified diabetes educator and himself an insulin user himself since 1985, gives you the tools to "think like a pancreas"--that is, to successfully master the art and science of matching insulin to the body's ever-changing needs. Free of medical mumbo jumbo, comprehensive, and packed with useful information not readily available in other books, Think Like a Pancreas discusses:

. day-to-day blood glucose control and monitoring
.?designing an insulin program to best match your lifestyle
. measuring insulin to carbohydrate intake and physical activity
. the pluses and minuses of different insulin-delivery methods
. optimal management of diabetes using an insulin pump
. hypoglycemia-the best ways to avoid it and treat it
. the impact of emotions, stress, illness, and aging
.?making the best use of your health care team and community resources
. plus dozens of other issues that everyone taking insulin needs to understand and master.
